Application filed March 16, 1918. Serial No. 222,798;

Garment-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in garment supporters for children and 1t:1s;

my object to produce a supporter which will aid in correcting round shoulders and stoop; which will evenly distribute the Weight,

of the garments, which will securely hold up the garments and which can be easily adjusted to different sizes. I j

The drawing is a perspective view of my improved supporter.

The supporter consists of a waist band 1 adapted to encircle the waist of the wearer. This maybe secured together at the front by a button 2 and button hole 3. I

An end piece a is secured to the middle'of the back or" the waist band and has the metal loop 5 at its upper end which slidablyengages a back strap 6 which may be adjusted for length by means of the slide buckle7.

Shoulder straps 8 and 9 extend from the upper end of the back strap and pass through slide buckles l0 and 11 with their free ends detachably secured'to the waistband 1 by fasteners 12 and 13. A. plurality of fasteners are provided to permit th sup' porter to be fitted to children of'diiferent sizes. Y

Each buckle 10 and 11 has a suspender end Li and 15 extending down to the waist band 1 to which it is secured.

Under arm straps 16 andl? extend from the upper end of the back strap 6 and from the rear ends of the shoulder straps 8 and 9 to a point adjacent to the front or free ends of the shoulder straps. V

The back strapG and the shoulder straps Sand?) are preferablymade of elastic webbing while the'remaining straps areipreferably nch-elastic. 1

Buttons 18 are'securedto the waist band l at suitable intervals, to which the -gar ments may be buttoned. V

inuse the shoulder straps goover the shoulders, the under arms strapsnnder the arms and the waist band around the waist so that the supporter will not slip from the shoulders and the under arms straps-will bear their share of the weight or the garments which prevents the child from stooping and becoming round shouldered. Being garterless it is particularly adapted for summer wear with socks.

I claim V V j A garment supporter comprising awaist band, an adjustable back strap secured to the middle portion ofthe rear of the waist band, a pair of shoulder straps extending from the upper end of the back strap to the forward portion of the waist band, suspender ends slid-ably secured to the front'of the shoulder straps with their lower ends secured to the waist band, a pair of under arm straps also extending from the upper end positions maybe changed, and means on' the waist band adapted to engage portions or the gari'nentsto be supported;

In testimony whereof'I have aflixed my signature.
